Objective: In this paper, we propose a body of techniques for the estimation of rapidly changing connectivity relationships between EEG signals estimated in cortical areas, based on the use of adaptive multivariate autoregressive modeling (AMVAR) for the estimation of a time-varying partial directed coherence (PDC). This approach allows the observation of rapidly changing influences between the cortical areas during the execution of a task, and does not require the stationarity of the signals. Methods: High resolution EEG data were recorded from a group of spinal cord injured (SCI) patients during the attempt to move a paralyzed limb. These data were compared with the time-varying connectivity patterns estimated in a control group during the real execution of the movement. Connectivity was estimated with the use of realistic head modeling and the linear inverse estimation of the cortical activity in a series of regions of interest by using time-varying PDC. Results: The SCI population involved a different cortical network than those generated by the healthy subjects during the task performance. Such a network differs for the involvement of the parietal cortices, which increases in strength near to the movement imagination onset for the SCI when compared to the normal population. Conclusions: The application of time-varying PDC allows tracking the evolution of the connectivity between cortical areas in the analyzed populations during the proposed tasks. Such details about the temporal evolution of the connectivity patterns estimated cannot be obtained with the application of the standard estimators of connectivity.

ObjectiveTo determine whether seizure onset zone can be accurately localized prior to surgical planning in focal epilepsy patients, we performed non-invasive EEG recordings and source localization analyses on 39 patients.MethodsIn a total of 39 focal epilepsy patients, we recorded and extracted 138 seizures and 1,325 interictal epileptic discharges using high-density EEG. We have investigated a novel approach for directly imaging sources of seizures and interictal spikes from high density EEG recordings, and rigorously validated it for noninvasive localization of seizure onset zone (SOZ) determined from intracranial EEG findings and surgical resection volume. Conventional source imaging analyses were also performed for comparison.ResultsIctal source imaging showed a concordance rate of 95% when compared to intracranial EEG or resection results. The average distance from estimation to seizure onset (intracranial) electrodes is 1.35 cm in patients with concordant results, and 0.74 cm to surgical resection boundary in patients with successful surgery. About 41% of the patients were found to have multiple types of interictal activities; coincidentally, a lower concordance rate and a significantly worse performance in localizing SOZ were observed in these patients.ConclusionNoninvasive ictal source imaging with high-density EEG recording can provide highly concordant results with clinical decisions obtained by invasive monitoring or confirmed by resective surgery. By means of direct seizure imaging using high-density scalp EEG recordings, the added value of ictal source imaging is particularly high in patients with complex interictal activity patterns, who may represent the most challenging cases with poor prognosis.
